romney had one of the worst debates. lst no question newt gingrich knows he must have a big night again. the pressure is on him. as with a lot of athletes, when the pressure is on, a lot of them sometimes going for the big hit, going for throwing the long ball, they overreach and make mistakes because they actually try too hard and their adrenaline is too high. that's obviously totally speculative. the pressure is going to be intensely on romney because he knows he has to do better than last time. both guys are going to get a chance to show in the most high-stakes debate we have seen so far what they are made of. >> rick perry making news today. dropping out of the race and endorsing newt. let's watch this big double header. >> i believe newt is a conservative who can transform our country. we have had our differences, which campaigns will inevitably have. and newt is not perfect, but who among us is? the fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek god. and i believe in the power of redemption, for it is a central t

romney's message isn't selling. he's not by enough for americans as an acceptable alternative to barack obama and his pick of paul ryan hasn't given his campaign enough jolt. chuck todd is the political director for msnbc news and major garrett for "washington journal." the president has a strong advantage, who voters view as more likable. while both scored about the same in terms of their negative ratings, obama's viewed more positively than romney. their feelings are very or somewhat positive. only 38% say that about romney. perhaps more telling, the poll asked how recent news had changed their opinions of him. only 32% say it had given them a more favor nl. . romney's also been seen as more out of the mainstream than obama. 54% say obama's approach to issues is in the mainstream versus 44% who say he's out of step. it's almost a complete reverse for romney. chuck, it seems like i'm not using the word weird except that it seems to be this thing about he's not one of us to voters. >> i call it, it's the gut decisio

while romney and others think they can go on the offensive, romney talking about why this is a positive for the president. romney had questions to answer about which benefits he doesn't support for same sex couples, and he is not good at those questions. we can talk about the negatives and the risks, but i think it puts the president in line with where history is going, the public opinion polls, and with most people in his party including the people that work for him. >> before we get to more polling, the emotions of this when you see governor romney saying he's for traditional marriage, you can say the traditional prejudice against gay people where they would be thrown out of jobs, military, denied access to the military. all of that was part of our tradition as well. why would anyone value the word tradition in this case of expanding in a country that honors the expansion of rights and not honoring the old restrictions. >> chris, that's a very good question. i know a little about tradition. >> you lived through it. >> it's not always a good thing. so, you know, look, the people do, th

romney he supports. it's so extreme, not only would it overturn roe, women couldn't make their own decisions about their pregnancies but potentially criminalize in vitro fertilizati fertilization. mr. romney has supported so extreme that mississippi voters reject rejected personhood when it was put on the ballot in february. he has one position when he's talking to the broader public but what he believes are these positions he's taken. the thing of concern is that this congress has passed some of the most extreme legislation against women, against women's health, and mitt romney would be a rubber stamp for the tea party congress. and i think all of these issues that we're talking about are absolutely on the table. >> i don't think he's too big on lily ledbetter either. >> mitt romney started telling us about meeting the former navy s.e.a.l. killed in benghazi. today romney mentioned him by name. let's listen. >> i met some wonderful people. one was a former navy s.e.a.l., and glenn dougherty. we chatted

here is how the president pinned that romney hood tag on romney last might. it is funny, biting and may just stick. it says in one word romney would help the rich and hurt everyone else and lets listen to it. >> he'd ask the middle class to pay more in taxes so he could give another $250,000 tax cut to people making more than $3 million a year. it is like robin hood in reverse. it is romney hood. >> well, i think romney woke up this morning with that arrow pointed into his forehead because he came back with this. today his staff obviously came up with a comeback line for him because he's not that original. he saved it for his favorite resting hole, fox news. >> we have been watching the president say a lot of things about me and about my policies. and it is not right. and if i were to coin a term it would be obama-loney. he serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth. it relates to everything from how i'm going to help the middle class to tax policy. he simply is saying things that are not accurate. >> well, the robin hood theme, the presi

romney is at 28% favorable. that's a lower score than almost all the recent party nominees at the same time. that includes john mccain, john kerry, and bob dole. what's behind the low favorable? rob porter is a backer of romney. that's a pretty low favorability rating for a candidate who has spent millions or tens of millions of dollars either directly or through his super pac. >> it's about the primary. once we're through the primary, things will be different. he will be talking about barack obama. this is typical of a primary. republicans have formed the circular firing squad and firing at each other right now. pretty soon when super tuesday is over, i think we'll see more and more people jumping on board the romney campaign, as we saw yesterday with eric cantor. you'll see more focus on not just the obama record, but also our positive agenda going forward. >> let me show you some numbers here that must be disspiriting to a guy like yourself. look at how your candidate is doing. the latest nbc "wall street jou
